Initially, all its employees were local migrant women, with 90 percent from impoverished households, ethnic minorities, and those with low education or income. By integrating e-commerce with agriculture and tourism, the workshop trains local women to become online salespeople and product demonstrators, forming an e-commerce team.

Ma Yan, a worker at the workshop, shared her transformative journey. "I was always referred to as someone's daughter, wife, or mother. But when I joined the workshop, I started using my own name. My income has risen from 2,000 to over 4,000 yuan ($563)," she said.
